Part A:
From these interviews, I learned that life was hard for nearly everyone. People in some of the interviews complained about how hard and dangerous it was to work for their money, such as Mr. Garavelli, a stone cutter that claimed the dust in the stone sheds was awful for his health. Others, such as Mrs. Marie Haggerty, a maid, claimed they were tempted by money that their employers waved in their face. People during this time period were faced with difficult money issues. All of these people found it difficult to get by. Several women stated they could have gotten farther in their careers, such as Alice Caudle, a woman who worked in a mill who was very good at her job. She said that if she had been a man, there would have been no telling how far she'd have gone. With everyone in financial hard times, each interviewee complained about rough circumstances and even rough social circumstances due to the economy. Part B: 1. Who is the person being interviewed? Ruby Pickens Tartt 2. What is his title or position? None 3. What is his race, gender, and age? White Female 4. Where is the Interview taking place? Livingston, Alabama 5. What is the date of the interview? September 28, 1938 6. Who is the interviewer? Ruby Pickens Tartt
On September 28, 1938, Ruby Pickens Tartt wrote a recollection of Amy Chapman, an African American female who was a prominent member of society. She was one of the oldest citizens of Sumter County, where Ruby was from, and had been kind to her throughout her old age and illness. Mrs. Chapman had been more than willing to help, and many people in her town and liked her. Ruby wrote about her funeral, at which any people worked together to make it a beautiful burying. The men helped dig out her grave, and the women placed flowers around her grave. She certainly was a beloved member of their community.
1. Who is the person being interviewed? Lawrence F. Evans 2. What is his title or position? Terrapin Hunter 3. What is his race, gender, and age? Male 4. Where is the Interview taking place? Fairhope, Alabama 5. What is the date of the interview? January 4, 1939 6. Who is the interviewer? Lawrence F. Evans
On January 4, 1939, Lawrence F. Evans documented the time he went terrapin hunting and what it was like. He wrote specifically about how useful terrapin dogs were, as they were able to hold down the turtles until the hunter was able to come along and collect it. He explained the behavior of these turtles in depth, as well as describing the sale of terrapins and how their meat is considered a delicacy. It seemed that terrapin hunting was an excellent source of income for those who could manage it.
